FactSet Research Systems reported second-quarter 2026 revenue and adjusted earnings per share that exceeded Wall Street estimates, reinforcing its profile as a consistently growing dividend payer. The company raised its dividend to $1.16 per share in May 2026, signaling confidence in cash generation despite higher technology and cloud expenses. FactSet's narrative projects $2.8 billion in revenue and $712.8 million in earnings by 2029, requiring 5.5% annual revenue growth and a roughly $125 million increase from the current $587.8 million in earnings. Some analysts had previously assumed revenue growth of about 4.5% and earnings near $666.2 million by 2028, but the earnings beat could shift those more pessimistic views on margins and AI competition.
